To activate the user's camera and microphone using JavaScript, we will use the API of WebRTC , specifically getUserMedia API . This function returns a promise that resolves to a MediaStream object containing the audio and video streams.
Example of activating camera and audio

let stream = null;
// Función para iniciar el acceso a cámara y micrófono
async function startMedia() {

// Asignar el flujo de medios al elemento de video
video.srcObject = stream;
// Mostrar el video en pantalla
video.play();
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error al acceder a la cámara y al micrófono:', error);
}
}
// Función para detener el acceso a cámara y micrófono
function stopMedia() {
if (stream) {
// Detener todos los tracks del flujo
stream.getTracks().forEach(track => track.stop());
video.srcObject = null;

}
// Añadir eventos a los botones
startButton.addEventListener('click', startMedia);
stopButton.addEventListener('click', stopMedia);
